Quantity of Waste Heat (Waste Heat Recovery)
How much heat is available? This can be derived from plant descriptions or by direct measurement. The amount of available heat can be calculated from the following basic energy flow rate equation:
Q = SVρcpΔT

Waste Heat Recovery - Energy Flow Rate Calculator

Formula:

Q = S × V × ρ × cp × ΔT

Where,

Q = Energy flow rate

S = Cross sectional area

V = Flow velocity

ρ = Fluid density

cp = Fluid specific heat capacity

ΔT = Temperature difference between heat source and heat sink
